Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
The title references the euphemism 'collateral damage'—the film deliberately never shows the actual victims of Libby's policy decisions, forcing complicity onto the viewer.
Tika Sumpter spent weeks studying Condoleezza Rice's public affect—specifically her ability to appear warm while discussing catastrophic decisions.
